Siege On Dasuki’s Home: Group Raises Alarm On Human Rights Abuse

The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation has raised alarm over the threat to Nigerians’ human rights under the guise of probe by the present administration under President Buhari a former military dictator.
The group made this known while reacting to the clamp down on the residence of the former National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki. It should be noted that this same Dasuki was reported to have arrested the present leader of Nigeria when he was overthrown by former military President Ibrahim Babangida in 1985.
The group said the President should realize that Nigerians have not forgotten his record with human rights abuses as a military dictator and will not fail to tackle him on that.
The group in the press statement signed by its national Coordinator Comrade Nwokoma Messiah and  Director of Publicity Amakiri Christiana said the President should carry out his change mantra without recourse to trampling on the rights of Nigerians. It said the nation has moved away from the era of militocracy and dictatorship and urged the President to do same.
The NDRO decried the arrest of some top politicians whom it described as perceived threats to his administration. “It is disheartening that the present administration is now seen to be doing something worse than what they accused the former ruling party of doing. We smell a case of victimization against top shots of the PDP” the group said in the statement.

The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation also picked holes in the anti-corruption posture of the present administration accusing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of being selective in its fight against corruption. “It is suspicious that people like Timi Sylva who has been under EFCC probe for his alleged financial impropriety and the former governor of Rivers state Rotimi who squandered the resources of Rivers state have been working free while the likes of Sule Lamido whose presidential ambition is known to all are been haunted by the Commission that has suddenly realized it has teeth to bite. We condemn their selective investigation which smacks of nothing else than to witch hunt opposition politicians. We thought we have gone past this stage when former President Obasanjo left power. We will resist such selective probes using all legal and legitimate instruments available to us as a group and as democratically minded Nigerians” the NDRO statement concluded.

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body.  As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...
